Chapter 56: Bargaining
Chu Feng\'s hometown saying had a tremendous impact.
Listening to it, Ye Xuan was confused and couldn\'t understand its meaning even after pondering for a while. Her small face wore a puzzled expression, resembling a face with a question mark.
Chu Feng felt triumphant in his heart, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "You didn\'t understand? That\'s perfect! But no need to delve into it. Let\'s talk about the Moon Void Lotus. Please enlighten me, Miss Ye."
Without any hesitation, Ye Xuan\'s expression turned cold, and she snorted, "Enlightening you is fine, but you have to agree to a condition."
"Of course, anything has a price!" Chu Feng muttered to himself.
He neither agreed nor disagreed, simply saying, "What condition? Let me hear it!"
Ye Xuan bit her silver teeth and stated, "The Moon Void Lotus has six petals in total, and I want four of them."
"???"
Chu Feng was dumbfounded, and in an instant, ten thousand grass-mud horses rushed past him. Taking six and leaving only two? Wasn\'t he turning into a "Yang Bailao"?
Chu Feng sarcastically smiled, "Oh, Miss Ye has quite the appetite!"
Ye Xuan remained unmoved, her face expressionless. "I haven\'t finished speaking. I won\'t take the four petals for free. I\'ll trade them with you using star crystals. The price will be absolutely fair, and it\'s not like I\'m asking you to give them away for free. Moreover, this is a requirement of the Ye family; we must obtain four petals. It\'s the family\'s bottom line!"
Star crystals were top-tier cultivation resources and also served as a currency for transactions between many high-level martial artists. One star crystal was equivalent to ten billion yuan, but ten billion yuan couldn\'t buy star crystals because the person owning star crystals wouldn\'t be short of money.
Trading with star crystals was Ye Xuan\'s sincere gesture.
Hearing this, Chu Feng slowly suppressed his dissatisfaction, contemplated for a moment, and said in a soft voice, "Even if it\'s a trade, won\'t taking four petals be a bit too much? I can trade with you for three petals; that\'s my bottom line."
The Moon Void Lotus root was a top-tier treasure used for refining bones. However, Ye Xuan didn\'t even mention it, acting as if it didn\'t exist, and her eyes were fixed only on the lotus petals.
The value of these lotus petals was so high that it was difficult to estimate! Their effects were earth-shattering, likely the result of divine craftsmanship.
Ye Xuan\'s eyebrows furrowed, and after a moment of contemplation, she suddenly flashed a cunning smile on her face. "Alright! Three petals it is! But I have two things here that can help you obtain the Moon Void Lotus. They\'ll be exchanged for one petal."
She directly took out a small bottle and an ancient scroll.
The ancient scroll was "Breath Concealing Technique," which could conceal Chu Feng\'s aura, allowing him to lurk unnoticed by the Moon Lake. Otherwise, if Chu Feng rushed over directly, he would be besieged by demonic beasts before even seeing the Moon Void Lotus.
As for the small bottle, it contained a peculiar substance—Star Soil. It twinkled with starlight and shimmered with colorful radiance, attracting all kinds of plants.
Both of these items were something he couldn\'t refuse.
Chu Feng\'s mouth twitched, feeling somewhat helpless. He sighed softly, "Miss Ye is quite calculating. These two items will be exchanged for one petal; that\'s acceptable. I\'m just curious, what\'s the value of these lotus petals that makes Miss Ye plan so meticulously?"
Ye Xuan\'s gaze turned towards the direction of Moon Lake. Her eyes were filled with longing. After a moment of contemplation, she said softly, "It\'s no harm to tell you. These lotus petals have an astonishing effect. They can enhance the innate talent of a star-ranked genius. In other words, a top-tier talent warrior who consumes a lotus petal might advance to the star-ranked genius level. If a one-star genius consumes it, there\'s a possibility of advancing to a two-star genius."
